How much is 300 MB space?

Answer 1

There are two factual correct answers to this question.

The reason is that there are two methods of calculating this which both are correct.

In computers the chips use a binary numbersystem. The reason behind is that pure logic is either Yes or NO. Computers are made to make use of electricity as logic answers. A switch is either ON or it is OFF. Electricity or no electricity.

8 switches (One Byte) can represent any number from 0 to 255, a total of 256 different states combined. In computers we use multiples of 8 switches in order to make memorychips.

Kilo mean 1000 but since 1000 is not a multiple of 8 we go to the closest number that is a multiple of 8 and still not less, so we end up with 1024.

1024 Bytes is commonly known as one KiloByte

following this, One MegaByte will be 1024 KiloBytes.

and again, One GigaByte will be 1024 MegaBytes.

and again, One TerraByte will be 1024 GigaBytes.

The Industry is divided between makers of Memorychips and makers of Harddisks.

The memorychips follow the system described.

The harddisks follow the standardization of 10 digit system.

One byte is 8 bits. One Kilobyte is 1000 Bytes.

One MegaByte is 1000 KiloBytes.

One GigaByte is 1000 MegaBytes.

One TerraByte is 1000 GigaBytes.

In other words..

If you are talking about Memorychips with the capacity of 300 Gigabytes, that would be 307200 MegaBytes.

If talking about HardDrive Capacity, then it would only be 300000 MegaBytes.

Todays operatingsystems still count Harddrivecapacity as they count memorycapacity and they will tell you that a 300 Gig formatted harddisk only have the capacity of approx 285-290 gigabyte.

Cheers.
